The demand for plant-based industrial raw materials has increased
as well as research into expanding the utility of plants for
current and future uses. Plants are renewable, have limited or
positive environmental impact and have the potential to yield a
wide range of products in contrast to petroleum-based materials.
Plants can be used in a variety of different industries and
products including bioenergy, industrial oil and starch, fibre and
dye, rubber and related compounds, insecticide and land
rehabilitation. This title offers a comprehensive coverage of each
of these uses. Chapters discuss the identification of plant species
with desired traits, their cultivation to obtain the needed raw
materials, methods utilized in producing different finished
products, current and future research in crop production and
processing and the present state and future prospects for the
industry. Providing the first systematic review of industrial crops
and their uses, this book will be an important resource for
students and researchers of crop science and agricultural policy
makers.
